Fruit and vegetable seedings for 25 families

Timor-Leste has one of the highest rates of child stunting in the world, nearly half of all young children are affected by malnutrition that can shape the rest of their lives. For many families, the problem isn't a lack of care, it's a lack of access to knowledge about the variety of nutrients their children need to grow strong.

This gift gives 25 families fruit and vegetable seedlings, and the training to grow them well, turning small plots of land into steady sources of fresh, nutrient-rich food. Meals become more varied, health improves, and children grow stronger with every harvest right from their own backyard. It's a simple gift that nurtures more than food, it nurtures security, hope, and the joy of watching both gardens and futures flourish.
